Hello

Thanks for replying, however I have tryed the jumper, slave, master and I still receive the same error. I am starting to feel like there is somthing wrong with the driver it self, as I have another computer that i have fixed and running is smothly, added the drive to that computer and it did the same thing. What a mistery wish i new more about computers this is really agravating me and im sure alot of other people that are having the same problem. If you have any other input it would be great! the more the better.

Thanks again
